    Thats bullshit! Certain fighter planes can jettison booster engines. But these engines are part of the wings.

    Thanks, for the info, exactly what I was looking for :)
    Actually I think I'll see how much load my linux server can take, and try running it under remote X11.

  5. Re:pop3 or imap on Evolution 0.99, Release Candidate Out · · Score: 3, Informative

    Ok, BIG difference. With Pop3 you simply download the email into a local folder. With IMAP the emails stay on the server and you are browsing folders remotly. A goot IMAP client with make local copies of the mail also, so that you don't have to redownload everytime you want to look at a piece of mail. Think Webmail, without the web :)

    Well, the easiest way to loose it, is to post everything at +1. Because the average post will get moderated down from 2.

  9. Re:Protests on MS Settlement: Six States (And Samba) Say "Stop!" · · Score: 1

    Actually, thats not that unreasonable. As anyone cause contantly speeding well over the limit, with eventually loose their privilage to drive. Thought there have been cases where someone has shown that they absolutly have to be able to drive and resistrictions like #1 have been used. (though not braking system, thats kinda silly)

  10. Re:stockholders! on Transmeta's Demise Predicted · · Score: 2

    Guess that depends upon if you can afford to lose the money. If you have 100 shares, they are worth 175 dollars right now. Not a huge amount of money, and maby, just maby it might turn around. Anyways, look at the amount of money you'd get back from selling your shares, do you really need that money? Do you need a little bit of it to buy some other stocks with? Maby you might want to sell half your shares so that you can buy shares of MSFT. Whatever.

    Yea, if you want it to get incenerated. Fax it, just as professional. None of the hazards.

  15. Hu? on Wolfenstein Multiplayer Test 2 Out · · Score: 2

    Ok like I would make a comparison between the health showing times of the old test and the new ones, if I've never played it before.
    Second I like the game alot, I wasn't insulting it alot. People were saying that this is just another boring Q3 mod. I was saying, yes, it is a Q3 Mod (because it is a modificaiton based on the Q3 engine), but it also has an exensive single player game to it also. :)

  16. Not a side project on Wolfenstein Multiplayer Test 2 Out · · Score: 3, Informative

    I wouldn't say it was a side project, infact its a completly different project. 3 different companies are working on RTCW.
    Id software - Overseeing the entire thing especially any engine modifications, mainly they are making sure to protect the name.
    Gray Matter Studios - Developing the single player.
    Nerve Software - Is developing the Multiplayer

    Though I'm curious as to why very few of the docs mention Nerve.

  17. That was funny on Wolfenstein Multiplayer Test 2 Out · · Score: 2

    Just to let mod's know, that was funny. It was an SNL reference. But nevermind.

  18. Opinion. on Wolfenstein Multiplayer Test 2 Out · · Score: 3, Informative

    Ok to me, the updated networking code has some bugs. As a medic I need to see your health level quickly. It used to show me your health level instantly, now there is a wait :( Is this purposful?
    On the topic of weither this is just another Q3 mod.
    1. Yes it is.
    2. The full version is going to include a very expansive single player/co-operative game, plus many muliplayer DM modes.
    The single player game will be played carefully/tactically as opposed to run around and shot everything you see Q3.

  19. Another idea. on Network Adapter Failover in Linux? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Something elhse you might want to try is having both ethernet devices have the same IP. Its possible, look into it, most switches (as it hub/switch) nowadays support it, I know the linksys ones do atleast. That way you actually get a faster output from the machine, AND you get failover at the same time.

    What we need it a campain to get ibm to donate OS/2 code to linux, I'm sure alot of it could be used.

  23. Re:Nice conclusion (part of conclusion copied) on DeCSS Injunction Reversed In CA Case · · Score: 1

    Scripted languages are simply Source code that is compiled on the fly. Though it MAY be considered to be slighly more functional, but often are used in a more speach related aspects than other codes are. Scripting in webpages would be simular to typesetting instructins in normal publishing.

  24. Re:Some great precedent (maybe v. DCMA and SSSCA) on DeCSS Injunction Reversed In CA Case · · Score: 2, Informative

    I wonder, did you ever read the full findings by the supreme court. Basically it stated that the hand recounts had different rules for counting in each county. And as such could not be done fairly without having some sort of rules set forth for all counties to follow, these rules needed to be studied and checked. Which at such time the counties would need to recount from the beginning with the new rules. Such an action would have taken months and was simply rediculus.

  25. Re:Globalisation v The Way It Was Before on Multinationals And Globalism · · Score: 1

    We really need to get over this whole sweat shop shoe thing. Yes nike goes into poor countries and pays much less than they would have to here. But the jobs they provide in those areas are among the best jobs available in those areas. Nike could pay them american wages, and the people making the shoes would littly be filthy rich as that amount of money would be alot in those areas. But doing so would reck havic on their economy as the seperation of class would be very strange. Yes nike is taking advantage of a situation, and should be frowned upon for doing that. But they are actually helping people in those areas to obtain steady jobs which allow them to live more comfortable lives which allows for invention and advancement. So to say that these people are in any way harmed is a complete lie, and in fact this is helping their economy in many ways. And is an example as to why globalization is positive.
